"Fourth [Gate of Pain], open!"
Xiao Li's skin turned blood red, and his body emitted an extremely violent green energy. The green energy caused the ground beneath his feet to crack, forming a layer of frightening air current that wrapped around his body.
"Bang!"
The "mental energy" that swooped down didn't even manage to touch the corner of Xiao Li's clothes. Xiao Li's speed was as fast as lightning, and he nimbly dodged the "mental energy" that was trying to wrap around him.
Among the people present, only a few people could barely see Xiao Li's movements. The rest of the people were dazzled by what they saw, but they could only see the "mental energy" that was strangely spiraling in the air like a snake.
"Xiao Li, destroy that fellow's flute!" Shikamaru shouted loudly, and at the same time, he formed a hand seal, and the shadow beneath his feet silently sneaked over.
"Ha!"
With a loud shout, Xiao Li punched out, and with a fierce gust of wind, the punch was aimed at Duo Youye who was playing the flute. Duo Youye was controlling the flute with both of his hands, so there was basically no way for him to defend himself.
"How can it be that simple, stinky brat?" With his four arms stacked together, Duo Youye forcibly blocked Xiao Li's punch. Zuo Youye's face was as malevolent as a demon, and his two heads revealed a creepy smile.
"Duo Youye, kick!" Zuo Youye's three legs simultaneously kicked out, and they landed on Xiao Li's calf.
Xiao Li felt the pain, and he couldn't help but retreat a few steps. However, at this moment, the "mental energy" that was like a snake behind him rushed up again. Xiao Li stomped his feet and instantly appeared behind Duo Youye. However, Zuo Youye was also like a shadow. To be precise, it was another Zuo Youye. Half of his body was like a demon, and he had lost the feeling of a human.
This Zuo Youye was actually able to keep up with Xiao Li's speed. Although he was only passively defending himself, he was still able to withstand Xiao Li's fierce attacks, not allowing Xiao Li to get closer to Duo Youye.
In addition, there was another Zuo Youye who was guarding in front of Duo Youye, and he took the initiative to step onto Shikamaru's shadow and let out a mocking laugh. "Haha, brat, you are still too inexperienced."
"Humph, is that so?" Shikamaru didn't show any signs of frustration. One of the three snake-like "spiritual energy" had been drawn away by Xiao Li, and the remaining two could no longer suppress them.
"Ice Escape: Icicle Swallow."
His speed was second only to Xiao Li when he opened the Eight Inner Hidden Gates. He leapt high into the air and shot a series of ice bullets at Dou Youye.
"Damn it! Right Jin, stop pestering me. Hurry up and leave. " Completely disregarding the life and death of Duo Yuye, Zuo Kei unleashed his Chakra and broke free from Shikamaru's shadow. Reaching out his demon-like black arms, he grabbed the wooden barrel and took advantage of the gap to escape.
"Wait for me, Zuo Near." Zuo Near, who was fighting with Xiao Li, shouted in panic. However, he was powerless to get rid of Xiao Li's storm-like attacks. Because Xiao Li's speed was too fast, Zuo Near couldn't even use his special ability.
The three freaks disappeared with a bang. Dou Youye's body blossomed with a large cluster of ice, dyed with a bewitching bright red color, and rapidly grew until Dou Youye was completely frozen. Dou Youye's curse seals disappeared, and her life aura also completely dissipated. With a crisp sound, she shattered into ice crystals on the ground.
"Kiba Gale." Xiao Li used his Eight Inner Hidden Gates state to send Zuo Near flying.
"Fire Escape: Grand Fireball Technique." Zi opened her mouth and spat out a large fireball. The burning flames collided with You Jin, who was sent flying. Amidst a miserable shriek, a pitch-black charred corpse fell to the ground with a thud. The stench of burnt meat made everyone feel nauseous.
However, this wasn't the time to stop and rest. Shikamaru forcefully supported Chakra's exhausted body. "Dingji and Xiao Li, stay here. The rest of you, continue to pursue."
After Xiao Li's Eight Inner Hidden Gates was removed, he was powerless and paralyzed on the ground. He had completely lost his ability to fight. It wasn't safe to leave Xiao Li here alone, so the slower Dingji stayed behind to take care of Xiao Li.
The rest of the people continued to pursue Zuo Kei under Shikamaru's command.
"Damn it, this group of brats actually made me run away in a sorry state. I must kill them." Zuo Kei carried the wooden barrel and ran away quickly. Originally, his face was like a demon's. Coupled with his constant cursing, he no longer looked like a human.
"Leave it to me." Aoyama stood on a tree branch and blocked Zuo Kei's path. Aromatic Phosphorus stood beside Aoyama with her eyes closed and her hands forming seals. She was using Kagura's Mind's Eye to scout the enemy.
"It's you. Why are you here?" Zuo Kei stopped and exclaimed. He immediately revealed a happy expression. Aoyama should be Orochi Maru -sama's reinforcements.
"It's because you bunch of trash delayed Orochi Maru -sama's matters. That's why I'm here. Leave Sasuke Uchiha to me." Aoyama looked down at Zuo Kei who was as ugly as a demon.
"I understand." Zuo Kei threw the wooden barrel over. Aromatic Phosphorus reached out and caught the tightly sealed barrel. She checked it before putting it down.
"You don't seem to be in a good state." Aoyama sized up Zuo Kei. Half of Zuo Kei's body was formed by a black keratinized substance. This was the power of the second stage of the curse. Right now, Zuo Kei's body was shaking.
"I'm going to die soon. They killed Zuo Kei. Once the curse disappears, without Zuo Kei's power, I won't be able to survive. Fortunately, before I die, I didn't disappoint … Orochi Maru -sama …"
Zuo Kei's murmuring voice dissipated, and the keratinized half of his body began to melt. In an instant, Zuo Kei who was only left with half of his body fell onto the ground and no longer made any sound.
"Very tenacious willpower, to actually be able to persevere until now." Aoyama praised, then cast her gaze towards the distance. "Aromatic Phosphorus, how is it?"
"There are seven people who chased after us, Lord Bai, Lord Yukari, Natsume, Shikamaru, Naruto, Hinata Ningji, Inuzuka Ya, and the others. Lee Luo Ke and Dingji stayed behind." Aromatic Phosphorus reported the information as if she was very familiar with it.
"Bring Sasuke and hide at the back, leave this place to me." Aoyama nodded her head. Aromatic Phosphorus then carried the wooden barrel and retreated to the back.
"It has been a while since I last saw Shikamaru and the others, I really miss them … and also Hanoi …" Aoyama's expression immediately became gloomy, and her heart felt extremely heavy.
"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!"
A series of black figures landed in front of them, Shikamaru and the others spread out and stood in front of Aoyama.
"Aoyama, why did you leave the village? Furthermore, why did you join Orochi Maru? "Naruto was already roaring angrily as he stared at Aoyama.
"Naruto, don't quarrel." Shikamaru berated Naruto, then looked towards Aoyama with a serious expression. "Aoyama, are you here to bring Sasuke away?"
Aoyama looked at Shikamaru and smiled lightly, "Shikamaru, there is no need to be so nervous, I am going to bring Sasuke away, but I will not hurt you guys, so don't worry."
